Employment services to help people work

Goodwill-Easter Seals Minnesota's main programs provide employment services specifically designed for people with disabilities, disadvantages or other barriers to work. Through training, individuals gain the skills, attitudes and work behaviors needed to assist them in finding and keeping employment. Service delivery is a wrap-around approach, taking into consideration the individual's needs, including those that affect their ability to obtain and maintain employment. We also offer services to support individuals to advance in their careers after job placement.

Vocational assessment helps individuals identify strengths and interests to determine their goals for employment and education.

Job support services include computer labs, English language learning classes, typing classes and other optional services that help ensure the success of our job candidate participants.

Family strengthening services, such as support groups and parenting classes.

Community resources staff members connect participants to other community organizations as needed to help them solve common problems that can become barriers to work, such as child care, work clothing or transportation.
